The Broadway Sound
fter last year's celebration of the Hollywood screen musical, John Wilson and his high-octane orchestra - whose technicoloured performances, according to one critic, offer ?the auditory equivalent of a steam-clean' - present a tribute to the composers and arrangers responsible for creating the Broadway Sound - among them such legendary tunesmiths as Jerome Kern, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Vincent Youmans, Richard Rodgers and Frank Loesser. With a cast of leading soloists, the concert includes excerpts from Show Boat, No, No, Nanette, On Your Toes, Kiss Me, Kate and Annie Get Your Gun. There will be one interval. Finish time approx. 22:00
